The young widow who inherited her dead husband's estate (70)
"In fact, it's not just me. Many people have asked for leave and gone home."
Dong Dafu did not stay in the guest room. He and Song Ning ran to the dining table next to the kitchen, turned on the heating and talked about his recent situation.
"Time passes so fast. Our office is so busy that I have not had a good night's sleep for several days in a row."
At one point, Dong Dafu almost thought that he was actually a coffee addict, with the smell of office and coffee all over his body.
"After the change, the number of people and things sent to us by the office decreased, but we had to go out on field missions more often."
Dong Dafu said with a serious expression, "Actually, it's not my place to go out on field missions. We have the equipment to test whether those things are dangerous or not."
"But it's too cold. Many of those instruments are precision equipment. If it's too cold, they can't be used."
"Then let you do it?"
Song Ning guessed something, after all, it was not difficult to guess.
Dong Dafu was in pain when he spoke, "Isn't it?"
He had never been on a field trip before, and now that he's out there he's been working non-stop!
"I really admire Brother Liang now. He was able to keep working non-stop for so long! To be honest, I was really injured and exhausted from working overtime this time."
Dong Dafu is even a little reluctant to recall that period of time. He was almost the spokesperson for coffee.
"Anyway, I told the director that if he didn't give me a holiday, I would be dead. The director seemed to have too many things to handle so he agreed. I don't know what's going on with Brother Liang."
As Dong Dafu spoke, his voice suddenly became much lower.
Is something wrong with Liang Feng?
Song Ning understood something and asked, "What happened to Brother Liang?"
Lance parked the car and came back to give each of them a cup of hot milk. "Drink it to warm you up. I'll go cook first."
Song Ning picked up the milk and nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, brother."
Dong Dafu felt much better when he saw that they were still so sweet.
A lot of things have happened recently, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, but when he saw his buddy still like this in front of Lance, he felt that those things were not so difficult to accept.
At least their efforts are valuable.
"Why don't you say anything? What happened to Brother Liang?"
Song Ning pushed the milk and motioned Dong Dafu to drink it too.
Dong Dafu followed his example and warmed his hands with milk, his throat becoming dry when he thought of Brother Liang.
"Brother Liang, it is very likely that something has happened to him."
"what?"
Song Ning was shocked. He had a good impression of Liang Feng. He was a little worried when he heard it. "What happened? What's going on now?"
Dong Dafu wiped his face and said, "I think it's pretty bad. It's been a week since the accident. And the biggest problem is that Brother Liang is now trapped in the snowy mountains. We can't get in and he can't get out either. I'm afraid we don't have enough supplies."
The room fell into dead silence.
After a while, Song Ning looked a little dazed. "The heavy snow closed the mountain. Is it because of this cold wave?"
Dong Dafu took a big sip of hot milk, but still felt cold.
"Well, this cold wave is too severe. You should be fine, but before I came, the department was calculating the losses for this month, and it has basically exceeded one trillion."
Song Ning gasped when he heard this, but when he thought about all the crops that Lans had taken back from their fields, he felt terrified and frightened.
"So what's going on outside now?"
Dong Dafu let out a sigh of relief. "Although the losses are heavy, this is the result of everyone's hard work. Have you watched the news from abroad these days? Many places have basically found that many people have frozen to death, and many people lack heating supplies. If they don't get help, they will probably..."
He just shook his head, and they could only listen to what he said.
"But we are doing well in China. During the last sudden cold wave, Director Li thought we should be prepared for the worst, so we have been able to handle it well in the following times. Now our superiors have ordered us to prepare a large amount of cold-resistant supplies, which will be distributed to every household at the lowest cost and to the maximum extent possible."
He drank the rest of the hot milk in one gulp. "What I brought here was prepared for me by the department. When the director heard that I came to see you, he let me out."
What Dong Dafu didn't say was that everyone was extremely busy at the moment, but Director Li still released him despite the pressure.
He probably knew something in his heart.
He is considered an old employee in the department, but because of the special nature of his job, he basically has to deal with many units and often works overtime. He is almost always still here when others get off work. Sometimes others have come to work, but he has not yet left work.
Dong Dafu's job of identifying people also made him offend many people.
There is no way. Some people always hope for luck and think they can get away with it, but the rules of the department are that even if it's just a little bit off, you can't pass it.
Dong Dafu also knew the seriousness of the matter in this regard. He had stopped many people and things, and had been scolded behind his back countless times.
This time, as soon as he mentioned taking a vacation, someone started to praise him in a sarcastic way.
It is said that a person's true nature can be best seen in times of crisis. The reason he left at this time was simply because he didn't want to go along with everyone else.
Some people even went so far as to suspect that he had retreated at this time because he had been bribed and became a spy for the enemy country. Otherwise, why would he choose to retreat so directly when the country was in crisis?
Song Ning was almost furious after hearing this.
"Then he didn't notice those days when you worked so much overtime that you could only drink coffee to stay awake?"
Are those people really just spreading rumors without caring about the facts?
If Dong Dafu was really that kind of person, why did he only take one day off despite having annual leave before?
Dong Dafu comforted him in return.
"Don't be angry. I did choose to retire at this time. I'll say whatever they say. Anyway, no matter what they say about me, the director and his team will see my contribution. It's clearly written on my salary slip."
No matter how many rumors those people spread, can they erase these facts?
"To be frank, this time, I think the director saw that I couldn't hold on any longer, so he arranged a vacation for me."
As Dong Dafu was talking, his head tilted and he actually fell asleep leaning against the armrest of the sofa.
Song Ning opened his mouth in shock, and Lance also walked over from the kitchen.
"Fell asleep?"
Song Ning walked over and gently put his arm around his waist, feeling a little emotional.
"Yeah, he must have been really tired. I guess he knew he couldn't take it anymore, so he quickly packed up his things and was worried about us running over."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen asleep after saying this. I guess he had been tired for a long time.
